I thought I had this figured out and was going to use the existing 30# tanks as back up. Built a really nice secure rack to store them in the rear cargo hatch. Well now I read that you are not suppose to store them on their side, or in and enclosed space. So I may have built a rack for nothing.
So what is everyone doing for more LP? I wanted the LP generator for easy of use not having to worry about bad gas and dealing with carborators. Plus the fact I would have to have added a gas tank some how.

You need to research different types of bottles. Fort lift bottles can be stored on their side and can be converted to gas vs liquid. Make sure you check this first. Forklifts use liquid propane. SOME forklift bottles have a plug in a hole that provides gas not liquid. You would remove the liquid valve and plug it. Then install a gas service valve in the gas port. Forklift bottles are filled using a bleed valve. You would need to stand the bottle upright to use it. There are several special service type bottles around so shop those as well. Just make sure they can be set up for gas service.
